Fortunately, there are some easy steps you can take to troubleshoot and fix this issue.

In this blog post, I will show you how to identify the possible causes of no spray and how to solve them step by step 🙂

I will also tell you what to do if none of the steps help and how to contact Bissell for further assistance.

Bissell Proheat 2X Not Spraying Water on Floor – Why and How To Fix

The most common reasons why your Bissell Proheat 2X is not spraying water on the floor are:

• The water tank is empty or not properly attached
• The knob is set incorrectly or pushed too far
• The valve or the O-ring at the bottom of the water tank or the solution bottle is missing or damaged
• The spray tip or the hose connection is clogged or kinked
• The spray line or the pump belt is broken

To fix these issues, you will need to check and refill the water tank, adjust the knob, inspect and replace the valve or the O-ring, clean or replace the spray tip or the hose connection, and replace the spray line or the pump belt if necessary.

These steps are explained in detail below.

Step 1: Check and Refill the Water Tank

The first thing to check is whether your Bissell Proheat 2x water tank is empty and needs to be refilled with hot water.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the machine and remove the water tank from the front of the cleaner
2. Check if there is any water left in the tank
3. If the tank is empty, fill it with hot tap water up to the fill line
4. Replace the tank lid and make sure it is securely attached to the tank bottom
5. Reinsert the tank into the machine and make sure it sits snugly

Step 2: Adjust the Knob

The second thing to check is whether the knob is set correctly and not pushed too far beyond rinse setting.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Locate the knob on top of the machine that controls the cleaning mode
2. Make sure it is set to either heavy traffic, normal clean, light clean, or rinse depending on your preference
3. Do not push it too far past rinse as this may cause no spray
4. If you want more formula to spray down on your carpet, switch to deep clean mode instead of express mode

Step 3: Inspect and Replace the Valve or the O-Ring

The third thing to check is whether the valve at the bottom of your Bissell Proheat 2x water tank or the O-ring on the cleaner solution bottle is correctly fixed and not missing or damaged.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Unplug the machine and remove both the water tank and the solution bottle from the cleaner
2. Check if there is a red rubber gasket on both caps of the tank and bottle
3. If there is no gasket on either cap, look for it in the base of the machine or order a new one from Bissell
4. Check if there is a valve at the bottom of both tank and bottle that allows water and solution to flow out when pressed
5. If there is no valve or it is broken, order a new one from Bissell
6. Press up on both valves to see if water and solution come out
7. If no water or solution comes out, you may need a new tank or bottle

Step 4: Clean or Replace the Spray Tip or Hose Connection

The fourth thing to check is whether the spray tip at the foot of your Bissell Proheat 2x machine or hose connection are clean and free of any kinks.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Unplug your Bissell Proheat 2x and remove both tanks from it
2. Remove one spray tip by pressing its sides in and pulling it up and out
3. Use a pair of pliers to squeeze the metal clamp behind the spray tip and pull it out of the spray line
4. Repeat for the other spray tip
5. Use a pin or a small paper clip to clean the spray tips of any debris
6. Soak them under warm water if needed
7. Reattach the spray tips to the spray lines and secure them with the metal clamps
8. Replace the tanks on the machine and test for spray
9. If there is still no spray, remove the tool from the hose and clean its spray tip with a pin or a small paper clip
10. Hold the hose facing down and press the trigger for 10-15 seconds to see if spray comes out
11. If spray comes out of the hose but not on the floor, you may need a new tank

Step 5: Replace the Spray Line or Pump Belt

The fifth thing to check is whether the spray line or the pump belt is broken.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Unplug your Bissell Proheat 2x and turn it over to expose the bottom
2. Remove the screws that hold the brush cover and lift it off
3. Check if there is a clear plastic tube that runs from the pump to the spray tips
4. If this tube is broken or disconnected, you will need to replace it with a new one from Bissell
5. Check if there is a black rubber belt that connects the pump to the motor
6. If this belt is broken or loose, you will need to replace it with a new one from Bissell
7. Reattach the brush cover and turn the machine back over
8. Test for spray
